TIP120 NPN Darlington Bipolar Junction Transistor

The TIP120 is an NPN Darlington bipolar junction transistor designed for high-current switching and amplification applications.
It integrates two transistors in a Darlington configuration to provide high DC current gain.
The device supports a maximum collector current of up to 5 A and is suitable for low-speed switching applications.
It is commonly operated with moderate collector-emitter voltages in power control circuits.
Typical applications include motor drivers, relay control, solenoid drivers, and general-purpose power switching.
